<p>Hey, what would be the better name for our usage of <code>E-mentor</code>? It was cargo culted from Rust, but it doesn't mean that the issue has an active mentoring person. Rather, it means something more specific and immediate -- the issue includes pointers to relevant code and/or tests.</p>

<p>It's still a good idea to look for this label if you want something you can start with easily, but I worry that the current name inflates expectations.</p>

<p>I wish we could do a real <code>E-mentor</code>, but it doesn't seem feasible at the moment sadly :-(</p>

<p>Hm, I guess, <code>E-has-instructions</code> would be a good name</p>

<p>Same for me :) I had this kind of expactations regarding the label :) but yes, at least being available for some questions on zulip or in the issue if it's feasible is already very helpful</p>
